. Lat Saturday evening strange dog,
whose queer antics astonished several spec
tators passed through Lincolnton. He
trotted listlessly along, then suddenly stop
ped and attempted the astonishing CASTRO
nomical feat of eating a brickbat. One OF
the boys threw a rock at him, knocking HIM
over, but did not succeed in demolishing his
doAship. Disguised with the brick the
dog shook the dust of his feet and re-
sumed his journey. The village dogs
greeted him in a friendly manner, but
he returned the salutation by Selling small
flee by the nape of the neck and biting him
severely. Loosing his hold on the flee, he
put out at a stumbling gait up the Wash
ington road. Nothing more was heard from
him till b. House came down Sunday morn
ing bringing his little daughter whom the
dog violently attacked The virtue of the
maidstone owned by DR.. Ferguson was
sought, but on Monday Mr.. House carried
her to Mrs. Gibson, in Columbia county.
The dog has not been killed.
Members of the police department and
detectives are now engaged trying to solve
what appears to be the most mysterious dis
appearance ever known in Atlanta. The
missing man is c. G.. Crosse, a well-known
tailor Mr.. Crosse lived on Crew street.
He is man of family, and with his wife
and daughter was at home Friday. That
night Just as he was in the act of retiring,
two men came to the door and called
him out The men were strangers to all
who saw them, and between the two
Mr. Gross walked down the street
block. Under a gas light the three
stopped, and neighbor of Mr.. Crosses,
who saw them talking, now remembers
that all three gesticulated wildly and APP
peared to be excited. The trio remained
under the lamp a few minutes, and then
the two strangers walked away, while Mr.
Crosse returned to his house In a few sec
onds he came out of his house fully dressed
for the streets, and hurried away, leaving
his wife and daughter at home. Since
then no one who can be found has seen
him. On Saturday morning persons liv-
ing near the Crosse home noticed that the
house was all closed up. All during the
day it remained closed, and Sunday contin-
ued in the same way During the day some
of Mr.. Crosses friends called to see him,
and finding the house closed, began max
ing inquiries, which resulted in disclosing
what has been recounted. Soon the news
spread. and in a short time j. A. An
derson, the clothier for whom Mr.. Crosse
worked, called and increased the mystery
by stating that the tailor had not been seen
at the store after Friday night. Relatives
directed officers TO open the house. Things
inside indicated a hurried packing Trunks
and wearing apparel were gone and nothing
else The birds We're in the house and so
was a small dog. The detective traced Mr.
Crosse, his wife and daughter to the Union
Depot, and there lost all clue to them. The
friends and relations of the family cannot
account for the hurried departure.
